They refer to their gigs as 'installations' and have a uniquely entertaining frontman Adrian R Shaw who speaks, rants and sings over a set of twisted, repetetive, germanic tracks, played out by a group who stand in darkness, in front of a screen showing strangely beautiful films, ranging from fuzzy early 1970's family super8's to animations of levitating or marching baby dolls on fire. www.sickhappyidle.com www.guidedmissile.co.uk djs: Mary Xmas/Jim Backhaus/Pilko 'Pilko' Pilko/Tango Mango visuals by Curious Yellow December 6th Upstairs @ the Garage London N5 £5/6 9pm-3am kosmische club www.kosmische.org every tues 22.00-23.30 resonance 104.4FM and www.resonancefm.com
